Still in the early hours, Paraguay claimed its first win of the tournament with a 1-0 victory over Turkey.
With two defeats in the World Cup (Australia and Paraguay), the Turks are already eliminated because, even if they can still reach three points, they lose on head-to-head record (the 1st tiebreaker).

At the start of the afternoon, the Netherlands thrashed Sweden 5-1 and also picked up their first win of the World Cup, after the disappointing draw in their opener (2-2 with Japan).

The rout made the "Oranje" the newest member of the World Cup’s "100 club" — national teams with 100 or more goals in the tournament.
The "100 club" is led by Brazil and Germany, with 241 goals.
The Germans matched the Seleção with a comeback 2-1 win over Ivory Coast.
The result also mathematically secured Germany’s place in the next round of the World Cup in advance, as group winners.

This is the first point in the history of the small Central American country of just 158,000 inhabitants.

The result stirred emotions on social media.
And goalkeeper Eloy Room also set the record with 15 saves against Ecuador — the highest number since 1966 in a World Cup match that did not go to extra time.
As a result, the 36-year-old Miami FC goalkeeper (US second division), who has only 168,000 followers on Instagram, is now a candidate to follow in the footsteps of Cape Verde’s Vozinha, who passed 10 million followers after keeping a 0-0 draw against Spain in the opener.
